DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative {UASI) funding program. UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terrorism equipment, planning, training, and exercises. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the fifth year. The City of Santa Ana has fiscal responsibility for the FY07 UASI grant for the Santa Ana / Anaheim Urban Area which encompasses the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. The Santa Ana Police Department requests to amend the original contract to purchase additional needed equipment which was unforeseen and identified during the initial installation phase. Several cities and counties outside of the OCOA currently deploy this exact system. In an effort to increase first responder safety and response capabilities, and enhance interoperability between jurisdictions within the OCOA as well as other regions, the Santa Ana Police Department will need to purchase the same AVL system. 25D-1
